Make the hard product decisions easier to live with.
I work with people responsible for products and engineering when the problem needs more than another pair of hands.
When AI can remove friction from a team's workflow, I help introduce it deliberately — with the guardrails, context, and reliability it needs to be genuinely useful.
When the technical problem is bigger than the code
I work with founders and engineering teams when the problem needs more than another pair of hands. Architecture needs to be decided. Delivery is stuck. A product needs to be built or rebuilt. A difficult initiative needs someone to take ownership and move it forward.
I have done this work from both ends — as CTO at Scandiweb and as a hands-on senior engineer at Graip.AI and Codenotary. Since 2024 I have run Mist.lv, building independent products and working with companies as a fractional technical leader.
That is where I step in: understand the problem, make the technical decisions, set a practical path forward, and work alongside your team to ship it.
Clear thinking over cleverness. Decisions over endless discussion. Working software over impressive demos.

Selected work
A few projects that show how I approach product systems: dependable infrastructure, engineering at scale, and products shipped end-to-end.
Go Agent Skill Runtime
Open-source Risor-based runtime with 114 built-in functions for building reusable AI agent skills. JSON-first output, skill packaging, zero glue code.
ScandiPWA — PWA for Magento 2
Open-source PWA storefront I authored and led. Shipped to production at enterprise e-commerce scale; case study covers the engineering decisions and tradeoffs.
Focus Schedule — iOS planning app
Indie SwiftUI app for blank-slate daily planning. End-to-end product: design, build, store launch, telemetry. Proof of shipping, not just advising.
More writing
Notes on product engineering, applied AI, and building dependable software in production.
How I help teams move forward
Clear, hands-on support for the work that determines whether a product can keep moving.
Product and architecture decisions
A focused outside read of the architecture, delivery plan, data flow, and tradeoffs before expensive decisions harden.
Hands-on engineering partnership
Senior support alongside your team for hard decisions, code review, infrastructure, and the engineering work that turns plans into shipped product.
AI-augmented team workflows
Find the repetitive, context-heavy work that slows a team down, then introduce useful AI assistance without creating a brittle new dependency.
Production readiness
Reliability, observability, deployment, security, and incident response that move teams from reactive to predictable.
